Adidas Fall Friendlies Overview

Bethesda SC is excited to announce that we will be hosting our first-ever Adidas Fall Friendlies this August! After the long layoff due to COVID-19 we wanted to provide our players with the opportunity to play against elite level competition from across the DMV prior to the start of the season. Our Fall Friendlies are also the perfect opportunity for new players and news coaches to get acclimated to their new teams.

Games will be played in a round-robin format at 50 minutes each. All teams will play three games. Scores will not be documented as these are scrimmages for teams, players and coaches to prepare for the fall season. Our club will also be monitoring and enforcing all state and local health guidelines to ensure a safe playing environment for all teams, players, and families.

Your coaches will be providing your team with more information about the event in the days and weeks ahead. In the meantime if you have any questions please email us at fallfriendlies@bethesdasoccer.org
